Responding promptly to the WHO (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION’S) clarion call against the use of tobacco and sharing the concern of CBSE board against this menace; the AKAL ACADEMY GOMTI conducted a number of activities within as well as outside the school premises to create awareness among the students against the use of tobacco. Every possible effort was made to give due representation to the children of different classes in different activities such as poster- making , cartooning, essay writing, story writing and rallies  etc.

Poster- making

A sizeable number of students from class 9-10 designed posters with utmost care-clear cut warnings were given about the hazardous outcomes of tobacco –users of tobacco were tried to make aware of its disastrous results through writings, pictures, inspirations, motivation and what not. Every aspect of human life as well as environment which can be affected with the intake of tobacco products was tried to be highlighted. Children used beautiful charts, papers, colors’ and other day -to-day techniques to make the posters worth-seeing and message-carrying.

Cartooning

Students from Class 6 to 8 were assigned with the task to show The Harmful Effects Of Tobacco through cartoons who in turn made catchy and funny cartoons giving a clear cut message against tobacco – Those Who Will Not Stop From Consuming Tobacco, Death Is The Imminent End For Them.

Essay Competition

A total of 11 children from class 9, 10 participated in essay writing competition themed “harmful effects of tobacco”. All the students furnished valuable and detailed information through their essays and touched every corner effeced with use of tobacco. The best two entries were uploaded to the email id – trainings.cbse@gmail.com

Rally Against Use of Tobacco/Drugs

Keeping in view the widespread use of tobacco as well as drugs especially by the young generation of today resulting in ruining and loss of peace of many families; Akal Academy students took out a drugs awareness rally, inspiring the addicted lot to shun this path and follow de-addiction so as to become healthy and robust citizens and contribute in the progress of the country. All the students from class 8 to 12 numbering about 85 participated in the rally organized in the remote areas of Madho Tanda, Kesarpur and the adjoining areas, where the majority of the people are illiterate and the notorious drug mafia is quite active. So the children even went home to home to guide those who are deeply entrenched in this ingenious world .

The rally cast spell- bound effect and some young boys were so much inspired that they came to the rally participants and pledged never to even touch any intoxicant throughout their lives .They even threw a few packets of bidis they had in the pocket. Even a few of them who were running the business of selling the tobacco products pledged not to consume as well as sell these products. So the rally appears to bring metamorphic changes in the life of the tobacco/drugs consumers.
